Funny Women 2009 winner Miss London has been hailed as a star of the future after her performance in BBC Three’s pilot ‘Laughter Shock’.

The British Comedy Guide noted Miss London as one of its favourites and Jack Seale from The Radio Times picked out the comic as ‘one likely future star.’

The pilot episode airs tonight on BBC Three, 11.00pm. It is a Brown Eyed Boy production.
